Good morning, my friends. Sure hope you haven't forgotten about me. I have missed blogging and touching base with all of you so much. I have needed to devote most of my time and attention to issues on the home front. Abby continues to struggle with depression and anxiety and it's been hard on the entire family. We're actively addressing it from several different angles, so she is getting all the support we can possibly give her. There have been many days of ups and downs, but God continues to be faithful and that, to me, is enough.
As I mentioned in my last post, Abby turned 20 years old on October 11th. We no longer have a teenager in the house. It feels really odd and almost bittersweet. I made her a red velvet cake, her favorite, and Chris and I treated her to a dinner out at The Cheesecake Factory...
That next weekend, Brittany came home to celebrate her birthday a little late. It didn't take any time until they were up to their usual antics...
Chris and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary on October 21st. What an adventure it's been! I look back on our life together up to this point and marvel at all God has done in our lives...the mountains He has moved. That man is my ROCK and I love him dearly. I don't know how I would have gotten through these past several years without him by my side.
I am continuing to love being involved in our church choir! We are currently rehearsing for our upcoming drama/musical on Dec. 10-11. I was chosen to play the role of a Puritan. Chris gives me a hard time about that constantly.
The fall foliage around here is beginning to peak. I'm seeing lots of bright reds and yellows...
There are some forest fires raging in North Georgia and the smoke from those fires can been seen where we live. It's really been awful for folks who suffer from respiratory disorders.
This little darlin' got groomed recently and I just had to show her off. Isn't she just the sweetest thing?
I wanted to let all of you who are still sticking with me know how much I appreciate it. I know I haven't been a very good blog friend lately, but I ask for your continued patience as I offer my support to Abby. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm a long way from giving up on blogging altogether.
